WEBVTT - Donald Trump Will DESTROY America If Elected 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.920 There is one week left until the American people make 0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:07.200 a monumental decision. It is the twenty ninth of October. 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:11.680 Seven days to go until scores of tens of millions 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:15.560 of us, from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea, 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:21.440 walk into voting boots and cast our most precious gift, 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:25.200 a vote, a choice that we get to make about 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:26.800 the future of the country. 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:28.360 This is the warning. 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:33.880 Every vote is equal. Billionaires don't get to vote ten times. 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:40.640 Every American citizen is a shareholder, a stakeholder. We together 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.360 will decide the future of our country. 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.479 We have one. 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:49.560 Week left to sort it all out, to evaluate who 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.160 the two people are that are running for president, Who 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:57.200 are the people around them, What do they believe, what 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.520 do they stand for? Are they parting a path that 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.000 we have long been on? Are they trying to reorder 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:10.800 our society, to remake the United States? All fair questions, 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.800 and the answer in the case of Donald Trump is yes. 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:20.000 He spent time yesterday with one of America's greatest religious 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:25.000 hucksters and fraudsters. He let her and her extremist friends 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.440 touch him, lay hands on him, to speak in fork tongues, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.319 and pray over the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.400 And I asked for divine visitations that you would continue 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.320 to give them your wisdom. According to James one to five, 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.320 that you had give him the mind of Christ. According 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.440 to Philippians two five, that you said in Psalm thirty 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.680 three that blessed is the nation whose Lord is God. 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.040 And we just thank you for our fighter of faith, 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:55.040 and for freedom and for religion God, and most of 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.440 all for our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.040 Now let me offer another piece of advice. If it 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.880 walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.040 it's probably a duck. Similarly, if a goose steps like 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.960 a Nazi, it salutes like a Nazi, it talks like 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:18.680 a Nazi, it's probably a Nazi. Now, Donald Trump may 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:23.880 experiencing what psychologists call a consciousness of guilt after his 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.080 fascist rally in Madison Square Garden, where he did his 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.280 very best to equal it raised the stakes on the 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:37.040 boond rally of February twentieth, nineteen thirty nine, where giant 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.480 banners of George Washington were hung on the stage, the 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.520 stage that Trump spoke from, flanked by Spostikus here's what 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.919 happened at Donald Trump's fascist rally. We heard replacement theory. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.560 And people know, in a country that has been taken 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.520 over by a leadership class that actually despises them and 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.560 their values and their history and their culture and their 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.360 custom really hates them to the point that it's trying 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:03.240 to replace them. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:10.320 We heard all of the orthodoxies of Hitlerism and fascism americanized. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.720 The cartels are gone, the criminal migrants are gone, the 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.079 gangs are gone. America is for Americans and Americans only. 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.160 But let me be clear, and I'm saying this because 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.200 I know what I'm talking about. Donald Trump is a fascist. 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:32.120 His movement, MAGA, is a fascist movement. The plan to 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.040 deport tens of millions of people and to build the 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.000 police state to do it is also a fascist idea. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.320 That's the thing about America. It's a country, the. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.680 Only one in the world, built not on blood and soil, 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:51.960 not on generational tribal inheritances, but on an idea, perhaps 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.520 the most important in world history, that all men and 0:03:55.640 --> 0:04:00.920 now women and people of color are created equally, creator 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:06.280 with inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:11.240 That is what is online in this selection. Donald Trump, 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.480 over and over and over again, has told us exactly 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:16.400 who he is. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.600 Kamala has imported criminal migrants from prisons and jails, from 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:26.400 insane asylums and mental institutions from all around the world, 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.440 from Venezuela to the Congo, oh Congo. They're sending a 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.800 lot of that people because you know what, they don't 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.240 want to take care of them, They're going to send them. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.480 They're sending them here. We have a lot they come 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.120 out of Congo prisons, but they come from Africa, they 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.800 come from the Middle East, they come from a lot 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.680 of places, and of course they come from South America. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.279 The jails all over the world are being emptied into 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.200 our country, and only bed can come out. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:54.120 Now. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.480 The second richest person in the world who insisted that 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.560 the newspaper he bought as a hobby horse put onto 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:08.240 its masthead, democracy dies in darkness. It may be the 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:13.440 dumbest and most cynical thing that has ever been placed 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.360 on the front page of an American newspaper. Truly, it 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.400 used to be just dumb and vapid, but now it's 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:26.360 become sinister and cancerous. Jeff Bezos wrote an op ed today, 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.280 and in the op ed, the owner of the Washington 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.800 Post declared print media in America can't be trusted, is 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:38.520 not trusted, and therefore it can't take a stand editorially 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.840 on the most profound question the United States is facing 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.360 since the eve of the Civil War and the eve 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.039 of the Second World War. 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.200 And Jeff Bezos, a. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.600 Man so rich that he can build his own rockets 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.960 to blast himself off into outer space, is a fraid 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:06.080 aid to take a stand cowardice is a terrible, terrible. 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.159 Disposition for a newspaper owner. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:14.440 This is a moment that requires fortitude, toughness, grit, and conviction, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.839 and obviously Jeff Bezos, who spent the summer cruising the 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.800 Mediterranean on a five hundred million dollar. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.320 Boat, has none of the above. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.920 He isn't a national malignancy like Elon Musk, but he's 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.240 just a soulless just as empty, and he should sell 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.240 the Washington Post or put it into some type of 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:39.279 trust before he loses every ounce of affection the American 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:43.240 people have for him as he exposes himself as one 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:49.120 more greedy billionaire who doesn't care about anything that's outside 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.520 the view of his yacht. Now over at CNN another 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:54.680 moment of disgrace. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.360 If you don't want to be called Nazis, stop. 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.440 Table people by me. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.080 I never called you. I mean I'm not saying her saying. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.719 I'm a set of the Pubestinians. I'm used to it. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:09.440 Well, I hope your beaper doesn't go off. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:10.720 The thing is is that. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.120 You should know because you just said I should. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:18.040 Be kill No, I did not say, let me look 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.400 about let me let me just. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.440 Guys, are you. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:34.320 Ryan? 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.000 Let's put up Abby phillips. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.440 Apology before we get started. I want to just address 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.920 what happened in the last segment. First, I want to 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.400 apologize to Medi Hassan for what was said at this table. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.280 It was completely unacceptable. When we get this discussion started, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.040 you'll see that Ryan is not at the table. There 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.680 is a line that was crossed there and it's not 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.400 acceptable to me. It's not acceptable to us at this network. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.920 We want discussion, We want people who disagree with each 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.920 other to talk to each other. But when you cross 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.800 the line of a complete lack of civility, that is 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.800 not going to happen here on this show. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:16.600 Every night, Abby Phillips in all of the CNN hosts 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.640 with very very few exceptions, like Aaron Burnett, whom you 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:26.320 would never see a freak show like Ryan Gooderski on 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.960 her show, but you'll see it on Abby Phillips because 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.960 every night the producers curate a combustible freak show. There's 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.320 always a Ryan Gooderski on the Abby Phillips set. It's 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.559 not a show for serious conversation. Scott Jennings appears on 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.720 it constantly. Last night, a man who was once accused 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.319 of rape, Ryan Gooderski, a man who had no. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:52.960 Business being on CNN. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:58.880 A liar, a propagandist, a political extremist. Yesterday, Ryan Goodersky 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.160 looked at my friend Metti and accused him of being 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.320 a member of Hamas and suggested that he might have 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.760 a pager on him that would soon blow up, potentially 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:09.559 injuring Ryan. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:10.800 Nobody should be. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.760 Surprised that Ryan Godursky would say something like that, and 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.960 no one should be surprised that he would say it 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:20.760 on CNN. Cynicism is how Ryan Goderski wound up on television. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:25.239 Cynicism is the reason the Washington Post won't make an endorsement. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:31.160 Transactional cynicism is how the American media has failed the 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.439 country during these last nine years. Price is the fascist 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.120 movement that stands on the edge of taking power and 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:43.040 authoring a catastrophe. The Washington Post will not save us. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.360 CNN will not save us. The New York Times will 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:50.199 not save us. The only people who will save America 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.800 now are the American people. And we have to save 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.400 it from an awful corruption that we have let swirrel 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:01.880 in our politics, in our media, in our corporations, in 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:06.880 our culture, everywhere around us. Donald Trump is an evil man, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.240 and I don't use that word lightly, but there are 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.280 no adjudicated rapists who are an evil man. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.520 He's a felon, He's a liar. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.720 He incited an insurrection against the American constitution, he betrayed 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:21.680 his oath. 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:22.959 He's a fascist. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.880 What Trump is is perfectly clear. What remains murky is 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.640 what type of country we are, or we the type 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.040 of people? And are we the type of Americans who 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.760 are so weak, so pitiful that we are the ones 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.120 finally that open the gates and allow a fascist to 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.520 take power. Wrapped in the flag and carrying across Let 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.920 us pray that that is not the case, and we 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.960 measure up in the same way that our grandparents and 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.280 their parents and our parents did and we make the 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.320 right choice for our kids, for our flag, for the 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:07.320 United States of America. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.760 This is the warning, and I invite you to join. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:14.120 Subscribe on our substack, on our YouTube channel, follow us. 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.679 Welcome to the community.
